Key offered for evaluate.
I’ve been closely having fun with Dave the Diver since I obtained a duplicate of it to evaluate on Xbox and I’ve made a number of makes an attempt on PlayStation previously to get the sport going whereas it was on PS+ and simply didn’t handle to stay. Not as a result of the sport was dangerous, however as a result of I’ve lengthy durations of time the place my consideration is pulled between a dozen issues.
Dave the Diver has a ton of issues occurring at any given time. You play as Dave. A diver. Go determine. Most of your days might be spent doing two issues; diving and managing your restaurant. You dive to get the fish to make the sushi to promote to the hungry individuals.
You enhance your restaurant by means of a number of totally different mechanics. Foremost by upgrading your gear over time, unlocking new areas by means of the story mode, and sacrificing fish to enhance your recipes to make higher model of that sushi in addition to extra sophisticated dishes. You’ll additionally rent staff to spice up your effectivity because the restaurant turns into extra common and also you get too many shoppers for you and your one sushi chef to deal with by yourself.
I really like the pixel graphics for Dave the Diver. There’s an attention-grabbing mixture of 2D and 3D graphics that merges fairly effectively within the diving parts of the sport. There’s additionally a ton of cutscenes if you’re upgrading your fish or constructing gear that simply provides the sport a burst of attraction and vitality.
The story mode unlocks new areas, new fish, and new alternatives for issues like every day quests and further revenue, to not point out increasing on the sport world and the characters. There’s a number of boss fights right here and there that provide some enjoyable methods to defeat the large fish so you’ll be able to lower off a piece and supply it as much as your clients.
The additional you go within the extra you unlock occasions like celebrities with particular tastes, improve your Yelp-esque restaurant ranking, and extra. I favored the story mode, however my suggestion is that if the sport ever turns into overwhelming (because it does for a number of pals that I’ve talked to) I simply stopped specializing in the quests whereas I let my restaurant catch up.
I solely have one grievance with Dave the Diver and it’s that the harpoon capturing typically feels damaged. It’s exhausting to place my finger on precisely what’s incorrect, but it surely typically seems like I’ve the harpoon aimed completely and my shot nonetheless goes proper by means of the fish. Possibly it’s simply me.
I do nonetheless plan to maintain taking part in Dave the Diver by means of to the end after which lastly try a number of the DLC that’s launched over time. It’s not the indie sport that Geoff Keighley claimed it’s, however it’s a rattling good sport.
Test it out.
